The first comedy screenplay that I wrote was Animal House and I always thought I could and should be a director but no one was about to give me that opportunity on Animal House. ↗
My first student film was Orientation, which was basically the set-up for Animal House. There are a couple of scenes that we later borrowed in some form. ↗
I remember when first, Stripes, and then Animal House came out - which I was really proud of, even though it was kind of loose and quite raucous - there were imitative movies that were not quite as good. ↗
